Companies House are currently reviewing how long they hold the records of dissolved companies.
Companies House are currently reviewing how long they hold the records of dissolved companies. Concerns have been raised about whether records should be held for longer than 20 years.
Currently, Companies House keeps company records for as long as a company is active. Once a company is dissolved, the records are kept for 20 years. At that point, selected records are transferred to the appropriate Public Records Office. Unselected records are destroyed.
While the review is ongoing, Companies House has paused any destruction and transfer of records.
If the review concludes that a change to the retention period is needed, a public consultation will be run to get views on any new proposals.
